Hasty Words.

Half the actual trouble of life would be
saved if people would remember that silence
is golden when they are irritated, vexed or
annoyed To feel provoked or exasperated
at a trife, when the nerves are exhausted,
is perhaps natural to us in our imperfectly
sanctifed state. But why put the annoy
ance into the shape of speech, which once
uttered is remembered, which may burn
like blistering wound, or rankle like a
poisoned arrow? If child be trying, or
a friend capricious, or servant unreason-
able, be careful what you say. Do not
speak while you feel the impulse of anger,
for you will be almost certain to say too
much, to say more than your cooler judg-
ment will approve, and to speak in way
that you will regret. Above all, never write
a letter when you are in mood of irrita-
ton. There is an anger which is justif-
able; there are resentments which are right
eous; it is sometimes duty to express in
dignation. But if you consider the matter,
the occasions for putting such feelings on
record are comparatively few They come
once in lifetime, perhaps, and to many
fortunate beings they never come at all.
Upon the whole, people-our friends and
neighbors, and the community of which we
form part-are trying to do the best they
can; and in hours of good temper and health,
life wears bright and sunny aspect.

A Love Story.


From the German is taken the beautiful
story of the ivy's origin. A Rhine maiden,
somewhat of coquette, promised to give
her hand to noble young man, "but not
yet" she said, "give me freedom a little
longer" Weeks passed, and the youth
becoming jealous of her smiles, urged her
to name the day when she would make him
forever happy; but with merry laugh and
a twinkling eye she babe him "wait." Re
peatedly he came to her. At last he said:
''If still thou tcllest me to wait it will be
forever" Thinking he only told her this
to brighten her, with toss of her pretty
head, she replied: "Then wait forever,
kind sir" With one long, sad gaze on her
sweet face he left her. He went to the
holy war, and she pinned and died. One
day strange plant sprang up on her grave.
1t put forth its tender leaves and long,
slender fingers, ever moving onward. 1t
covered the grave, then moved on over the
ground. The superstitious villagers watched
it with wonder, and they whispered to one
another that this strange vine was the
maiden Ivy's soul going forth to find her
lover.
